Week Notes No. 48: Mixed Diversions

By Justin G. on 25MAR26WED

It’s another installment of random mishmash media consumption. I wish I could say there is a theme. There is no theme.

1. Books
   • I find that I am reading 3 books this week.
   • Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. It has not gripped me at a little over 100 pages in.
   • The Notebook by Roland Allen, that I’ve already mentioned.
   • The Work of Art by Adam Moss. I tried to read the introduction a while ago and it bored me. This often happens. I’ve read the first two chapters and they are excellent. I’ll go back and read the introduction after I’ve read the rest of the book.
2. YouTube
   • I do not need a new hobby, but I’ve always wanted to be better at drawing. This Draw Sessions video on sketchbooking with no pressure or expectations may be the ticket. I’m already on day 3.
3. Television
   • The Residence (Netflix) is fun and funny.
   • The X-Files, season 2.
4. Music
   • The Rosen Corporation’s live session from 12 March was good.
   • Martin Stürtzer and S1gns of L1fe Space Ambient Liveset was good.
   • A new station perhaps? Nonations Studio “Moonlight Seascape Mix” was good.
   • Yaeji booboo and Pondeggi. Something new.
   • A lot of chill lo-fi from Monterey Bay Aquarium Krill Waves Radio: Kelp forest, Coastal wildlife, Open Sea.
   • Unexpectedly fun Nintendo Mariachi remixes: El Niño del Viento and Super Mariachi World.
5. Links
   • Do you want to play Asteroids with Wikipedia edits? This is your chance! Note: shooting asteroids has no impact on edits to wikipedia.
